Gilbert and Sullivan. Instant Merriment
Description
The work of William Schwenk Gilbert and Arthur Seymour Sullivan is sung every minute of every day somewhere in the world. The catchy tunes and absurd plots of their 13 operettas were a refreshing change from serious opera, but the Victorian duo was damned by their success. Until now it has been impossible to uncover any critical acclaim. Interlacing the life stories of the unlikely partners with footage from the 1997 International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival in San Francisco, Philadelphia and Buxton, England, this film sheds new light on the many facets of Gilbert and Sullivan.
